A hematoma is a pooling of blood beneath the skin and they aren’t usually dangerous.
Laying down on a hospital ward, he wrote: “Emergency operation on the nose to drain a hematoma. Not ideal situation but a minor set back and back training ASAP ready for another fight date.”
Aaron revealed he has a phobia of needles after getting a cannula inserted into his arm.
He posted: “Worst part is done [laughing emoji] Now just to wait for surgery!! Needles ain’t for me like.”
Girlfriend Talia Oatway delivered sweets and food to him while he recovered, which he was very grateful for.

“I was drinking and then it got to like August or September and I thought, ‘I’m going to give it one more chance in boxing’.”
Chalmers then spoke to close friend, 10–1–1 welterweight Josh Kelly – who suggested he try out their Surrey gym headed up by Adam Booth.
